What You Should Know About Our Pet Cremation Process

Thank you for looking into our pet cremation options. What makes Clock Timeless Pets different than any other pet loss center or cremation provider along Western Michigan’s lake-shore, is that we believe pets deserve the same dignity and respect as humans do at their time of death. We only offer private cremations, even if you chose not to have your pet returned to you. The true definition of a private cremation is one pet in the cremation chamber at a time. Anything else is a polite way of saying communal.

In Michigan, there are no rules or standards for the handling of a deceased pet, hard to believe right? For this reason our care team has implemented self imposed standards and guidelines that mirror the ethics and dignity of caring for humans. We also follow the guidelines from the PLPA (Pet Loss Professional Association), of which we are a charter remember.

Jodi M. Clock, a Certified Pet Loss Professional (CPLP), and is also certified in Pet Loss and Grief Companioning. We have a monthly support called Paw2Remember, which is held the third Monday of every week on the 3rd floor of Harbor Hospice, 1050 W Western Ave # 400, Muskegon, MI 49441.

A private pet cremation is defined as 1 pet in the pet cremation chamber until the process is completed. Anything else is NOT considered private! There are two private pet cremation choices to select from:

Private Cremation

Your pet is privately cremated and returned to you with their:

Clay paw print

Digital paw print stored in the cloud

Fur clippings and their remains are placed in a memory box.

Memorial Cremation

Your pet is privately cremated and is NOT returned. Your pet’s cremated remains will be scattered and honored during the week of National Pet Memorial Day. If you would like a custom paw print, digital paw print and fur clippings this can be purchased for an additional price.

Cost for both of options is based on weight of pet.
